Real Madrid will be back in form by February, says Zinedine Zidane

Madrid could face the likes of Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, Manchester United or Liverpool in Monday's last-16 draw.

Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has insisted that his side will be fine come the New Year, and has given an update on the injury to Raphael Varane, following his side's victory over Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.

"On Monday we will see who we get, but knowing that it will be a hard opponent", Zidane said. But they still eased into an 2-0 lead inside 13 minutes through Borja Mayoral's neat clipped finish and Cristiano Ronaldo's 20 yard curler, which brought another record for the Portuguese as the first player ever to score in all six UCL group games in the same season.

The Spanish giants are playing for their third successive European crown.

"He has hurt himself and we have to wait the scan results that will come tomorrow", Zidane said after Real's win, as quoted by Marca.

Cold air, gusty winds continue to push into region
Otherwise, expect partly cloudy skies, brisk breezes, and colder temperatures to be the rule through the rest of the weekend. However, sunshine will give way to increasing cloudiness and snow could break out across the state before the day is over.

With the reigning UCL champions already sure to finish second behind group winners Tottenham, Zidane rotated his side.

Following their clash with Sevilla, Los Blancos travel to the Middle East for the Club World Cup before returning to take on Barcelona in El Clasico. The important thing was to get through to the knockout stage, we've done that. "He doesn't think it's a serious problem, but he is definitely out for Saturday".

"We will find a solution. [Midfielder Marcos] Llorente knows this position, has played there before, we will see".

On Keylor Navas' future, Zidane said that he was happy with the keeper's performance. It's a possibility like every year.

"It was a very good start to the game, and a good end to the game", Zidane said. "Regarding signings, I have two goalkeepers and I'm very happy with both of them", There has been ongoing speculation regarding the interest of Los Blancos in signing Kepa Arrizabalaga in January.
